Lula Southern Cookhouse

The 22 Best Restaurants In Kansas City, Missouri 2024

"Lula is convenient to get to (just steps away from the Kauffman Center streetcar stop), but don’t expect a table if you spontaneously stop in. This Southern restaurant is always packed, so make a reservation for whatever’s available—luckily, their brunch and dinner menus are equally good. You’ll find people at brunch boozing at the bar, sports on the TV, and waiters piling tables high with hot "booberry" biscuits with cinnamon icing and their non-negotiable orange rolls. Dinner has highlights like crispy pork spare ribs with barbecue sauce and the best gumbo in town. " - ryan bernsten
